Chapter Two: No Regrets?
Jothee stared at the person in front of him. Chiana? His farther had told him that he was with someone but he didn't expect it to still be Chiana. He had to admit that she looked stunning. He mentally hit himself round the head and tried to stop staring at her.
"Oh, this is Pellina. My girlfriend." He said, pointing at the Sebacion women near him whilst still looking at Chiana.
"Nice to meet you Pellina. This is my fiancé Chiana."
Pellina and Chiana shook hands but Chiana wasn't paying any attention to her. She knew that Jothee was looking at her and she caught his gaze.
Jothee knew this and knew that he should look away from her. He hadn't come here to look at Chiana. He had come here to bury past mistakes. To... Tell his farther the truth about what happened? He wasn't sure anymore.
Could he tell his farther what had happened when he was still with Chiana?
Did he dare to?
"Chiana. Didn't expect to see you here." He said.
"The same. I didn't know you were visiting."
"Oh, urrm, Jothee. Me and Chiana are still together. How long has it been since you two last saw each other? Two cycles?" D' Argo asked his son.
"Yeah. About that."
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Pellina said.
Jothee snapped out of his trance-like state. "I did introduce you." He said.
Later on in the day, when the suns of the planet were more than half-set, Jothee seemed to have worked out what he needed to do to get his mind of Chiana and of how he was going to tell D' Argo. If he could still tell him.
The way was to get as drunk as possible.
By that point in the night, everyone was drunk. Everyone would have a hangover in the morning.
Jothee knew that he shouldn't have drank so much before he fell asleep but he knew that a lot when he woke up. He especially knew that when he noticed that Pellina wasn't next to him.
She tended to shy away when Jothee thought that it would be a good idea to get immensely drunk.
He hardly ever got drunk. He didn't even drink much but the Sebacion side of him would get irritated and the Luxan side of him would get angry at anything that he saw.
He closed his eyes and waited for his head to stop buzzing and swimming and spinning.
When he got back up later he went out into the kitchen to see if he could find Pellina. Instead he found Chiana.
"Urrm, do you know where Pelli is?"
"Pelli?"
"Pellina."
"Oh. She went out in the farm with D' Argo earlier."
"Hmm. She likes farm stuff."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
Suddenly, without any warning whatsoever, Jothee grabbed Chiana and kissed her passionately. He pulled away instantly afterwards.
"I have to go now!" He said.
"Wha... What's going on?"
"I have to go now. Chiana, this can't go on. I can't be around you. I have to leave now..."
"Why do we have to leave?" He heard a voice say from the doorway. He turned round to see Pellina with mud covering her clothes and a bag of vegetables in her hand.
"How long were you there for?" He demanded of her.
"What's the matter with you. I was walking to the door and I heard you say that you had to leave. I don't want to leave yet. I'm enjoying it here."
If he had any sense, Jothee knew that he should leave. With or without Pellina but he couldn't bring himself to ruin her day.
He agreed to stay for a while longer.
